=== Superpyth/Porcupine Notation ===
{| class="wikitable center-all right-2"
The intervals of 22 EDO may be thought of as a system arising from both Superpyth and Porcupine temperament therefore, it makes sense to categorize each on as major and minor of each temperament. s indicates superpyth, p indicates Porcupine, because p now represents porcupine and not perfect, P in perfect intervals is no longer used in this system. Instead the number is used without P and is read as either just the number or "Natural". Example: P5 becomes 5 or N5 = Perfect fifth becomes Natural fifth.

=== Ups and Downs, Porcupine and Pentatonic Notations ===
=== Superpyth/Porcupine Notation, Porcupine Notation and Pentatonic Notation ===
22edo intervals can also be notated using [[Ups_and_Downs_Notation|ups and downs]]. This notation allows for easy chord naming. The keyboard runs D * * * E F * * * G * * * A * * * B C * * * D. The natural notes represent the conventional chain of 5ths FCGDAEB.
Superpyth/Porcupine Notation is a system arising from both Superpyth and Porcupine temperament. It categorizes each 22edo interval as major and minor of one or both of those temperaments. s indicates superpyth and p indicates Porcupine. Because p now represents porcupine and not perfect, P in perfect intervals is no longer used in this system. Instead the number is used without P and is read as either just the number or "Natural". Example: P5 becomes 5 or N5 = Perfect fifth becomes Natural fifth.


Another possible notation uses the porcupine generator to generate the notation as well. The 2nd and 7th are perfect, and the 4th and 5th are imperfect like the 3rd and 6th. This is the only way to use a heptatonic notation without additional accidentals. The keyboard runs D * * E * * F * * G * * * A * * B * * C * * D. The natural notes represent a chain of 2nds ABCDEFG.

=== Decatonic Notation ===
The decatonic notation is based on Paul Erlich's decatonic scales. Unlike typical notation, the decatonic system is based on a scale of 10 tones rather than 7. This approach requires an entire re-learning of chords, intervals, and notation, but it allows 22EDO to be notated using only one pair of accidentals, and gives the opportunity to escape a heptatonic thinking pattern. The system is based on two chains of fifths: one represented by Latin letters, the other by Greek. The two chains can be looked at as two juxtaposed pentatonic scales.
Chain 1: C G D A E
Chain 2: γ δ α ε β
The alphabet is, in ascending order: C δ D ε E γ G α A β C
In this alphabet, a chain of fifths is preserved because equivalent Greek letters also represent fifths if they are the same as their Latin counterparts. For example G-D is a fifth, and so is γ-δ.

=== Decatonic Notation ===
All 31edo chords can be named using ups and downs. Alterations are always enclosed in parentheses, additions never are. An up or down immediately after the chord root affects the 3rd, 6th, 7th, and/or the 11th (every other note of a stacked-3rds chord 6-1-3-5-7-9-11-13).Here are the zo, gu, yo and ru triads:
